 My turkey gun, the 835 is more powerful than the 590 which has the bayonet.
"The heaviest cross we have to bear is the cross of Lorraine." Winston Churchill, 1944.
They can ban them all they want. The trick is getting them from the 150 million Red Blooded Americans and any attempt to do so will result in a second Civil War in this country, one the DIMo-Commie-RATS would not fair well in.
 No. Ours is a duty of eternal vigilance.
"So if you can hold the gun, it is banned."

I guess they're ready to do away with the incremental abolition of guns, and just go for all of them.

Eternal vigilance will be required as long as these domestic enemies of our nation remain on the payroll pocketing our tax dollars to make us miserable and insecure. 
 
Damn....
One of the above, I call my own. 
It guards my life, freedom, and home. 
Which one it might be I'll not state here. 
If such a bill passed, it would cost me dear! 
Should I bend in the wind, or stand like an oak? 
On my gravestone, what will be wrote; 
"Obedient" or "Infringed," it can't be both.
